How to Use
If all the colours of the test fields match the bottom line of the colour chart this is a negative result, but if symptoms persist, speak to your pharmacist or GP.
If there is one or more test pads colour that match line 2, 3 or 4 of the colour chart this is a positive result.
In the case of a positive result the following 3 causes may be possible.
• Leukocytes: appear in urine when a bacterial infection is, or was recently, present.
• Nitrites: appear in urine as a result of bacterial activity in the urinary tract.
• Protein: often present in urine when there is a kidney infection, bladder or prostate inflammation, or bleeding in the urinary tract.
In all cases of a positive result, you should speak to your pharmacist or GP.
Please Note: No medical decision should be made without advice.
